Chapel: Biography of master - J.R.R. Tolkien




Among thousands of fantasy writers only two managed to achieve status of master in my hierarchy. Both of them somehow created fantasy. First one created its basis, concepts and assumptions. Today I would like to present you
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. First of masters of fantasy. He was  born third of January 1892, died second of September 1973. He was an English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor. He gained his uttermost fame because of his classic high fantasy works: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. I present complete list of all his his works below:

  • The Lord of the Rings
    • The Fellowship of the Ring
    • The Two Towers
    • The Return of the King
  • The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
  • Silimarilion
  • The Children of Húrin
  • Unfinished Tales
    • Part One: The First Age
      • Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin
      • Narn i Hîn Húrin (The Tale of the Children of Húrin)
    • Part Two: The Second Age
      • A Description of the Island of Númenor
      • Aldarion and Erendis: The Mariner's Wife
      • The Line of Elros: Kings of Númenor
      • The History of Galadriel and Celeborn
    • Part Three: The Third Age
      • The Disaster of the Gladden Fields
      • Cirion and Eorl and the Friendship of Gondor and Rohan
      • The Quest of Erebor
      • The Hunt for the Ring
      • The Battles of the Fords of Isen
    • Part Four
      • The Drúedain
      • The Istari
      • The Palantíri

    • The Book of Lost Tales I
    • The Book of Lost Tales II 
    • The Lays of Beleriand
    • The Shaping of Middle-earth
    • The Lost Road and Other Writings
    • The Return of the Shadow
    • The Treason of Isengard
    • The War of the Ring
    • Sauron Defeated
    • Morgoth's Ring
    • The War of the Jewels
    • The Peoples of Middle-earth







One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Each and every title is supposed to become a note in the future, so expect many, many notes. For now I'm off. I've been creating this note for over three hours so all I can say is that first hunting night was fruitfull and expect me soon with next note!
